Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, England and is described as 'the gateway to the Peak District National Park' (true from the west).
Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester due to its close proximity to that conurbation.
Built on the River Wye, and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton has a long history as a spa town due to its geothermal spring which rises at a constant temperature of 28 ° C. The source of the spring is marked by St. Ann's Well opposite The Crescent near the town centre.
Buxton was born Aug. 12, 1909, at Ransom to Charles and Emilia (Jakel) Kraus.
Buxton is survived by her husband, three sons, MonteBuxton, of McCracken, Kansas, Dale Buxton of Busby, Montana, and Reginald Buxton of Ransom; three daughters, Wilma Buxton, of Ransom, Mrs.
Buxton first worked in a lumber yard, operated a creamery, and then opened a real estate and insurance office, a business to which he was devoted for the rest of his life.
